: Nothing has been bentioned here of the lead up to the Victorian election
: last weekend, or the unexpected result. What are the transport policies
: of the major parties? 

For policies visit their webpages:
http://www.vic.alp.org.au
http://www.jeff.com.au

: More importantly, which electorates will have independent members who
: are likely to hold the balance of power? Naturally they would be offered
: all sorts of things for their electorates to vote with whatever party
: eventually forms a government. The seat of East Gippsland is one which
: has been mentioned as being critical.

: Please, let's try not to get into a political slanging match. :)

For information about the election visit news pages:
http://www.theage.com.au
http://www.abc.net.au/news
http://www.news.com.au

And results:
http://www.vec.vic.gov.au

It will be weeks before the full result is know, after a special election
in the seat of Frankston East (currenly Lib, but tipped to go to Labour,
about 3% swing required) after the death of the currnet sitting member
(was lib now indep.).
